'Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie' is almost here. And by almost, we mean there are now only four months to go until it finally hits cinema screens on July 1...

But to keep us going until then, we've got the first trailer to enjoy.

Witness Patsy and Eddie living the high life on the French Riviera. As to why they are there, check out the film's official synopsis...

'Appropriate for their big screen debut, Edina and Patsy are still oozing glitz and glamour, living the high life they are accustomed to; shopping, drinking and clubbing their way around London’s trendiest hotspots.  Blamed for a major incident at an uber fashionable launch party, they become entangled in a media storm and are relentlessly pursued by the paparazzi. Fleeing penniless to the glamorous playground of the super-rich, the French Riviera, they hatch a plan to make their escape permanent and live the high life forevermore!'

We're promised a bundle of starry cameos, and already know that Kate Moss (hint: she's got something to do with that 'major incident at an uber fashionable launch party'), Cara Delevingne, Jean Paul Gauliter, Joan Collins and Stella McCartney are just a few of the familiar faces we'll see.

We can also expect a sprinkling of Ab Fab during London Fashion Week; Jane Horrocks will take a turn on the Vin and Omi catwalk in character as Bubble.

How did this come about, you ask? The London design duo have dressed her for the film, and when Horrocks said she'd never starred in a fashion show before they offered her spot so she could cross it off her bucket list, according to The Telegraph.

Stoli-Bollis all round!
